A cylindrical water bottle has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 9 cm. What is its volume? (Use pi = 3.14.)

V = π · r2 · h
📘 Worked solution
1Base area = 3.14 · 32 = 28.26The base of a cylinder is a circle: A = pi * r^2.
2V = 28.26 · 9 = 254.34 cm3Stack that base area up the full height — multiply by 9.
